Platform

Electoral Reform

Canada needs a democratic overhaul to replace our outdated first‑past‑the‑post system with a modern, equitable alternative. I am certain that politicians who benefit from the current electoral format shouldn’t be trusted to create its successor. I believe that a permanent, independent, non‑partisan citizens’ assembly should design electoral law to ensure fairness, proportionality, and equal voter influence.

  • I will advocate for a system that ensures proportional representation – Every vote should matter equally, and seats should reflect the popular vote, not just plurality wins.

  • I will seek to create an independent citizens’ assembly – Removing electoral rule‑making from partisan politicians and entrust it to a body of representative citizens.

  • I aim to establish a permanent election‑rules commission – An enduring, non‑partisan body to oversee and amend electoral law transparently, with public accountability.

Regardless of which party you support, it's obvious our current system doesn't optimize for your vote being represented.
